Symbol 28:6

2806a

28:6 · The square within a square has a different spectrum of meaning than 2805. It basically means keep, retain, keep inside, or close in. When used as a British boy-scout sign it means wait here. In some cartographical systems it stands for fortress (see the Word Index for synonyms).
    It can also represent a manhole, as it does in electrical engineering. A manhole is an opening to a lower, closed space or room where lines can be checked and repaired.
    On electrical household appliances 2806a means that they are better isolated than usual. The sign indicates appliance that can use both grounded and non-grounded sockets or outlets.
    The similar 2865 is a sign for pushbutton for door opening in some modern contexts.
